Modular Construction - Planning, Construction
Also Known As:
The VDI/BV-BS 6208 standard aims to provide guidelines and regulations for the design, production, and assembly of buildings using prefabricated room modules. It addresses the need for specific rules and considerations in modular and serial construction methods that may differ from traditional building regulations.
The standard acknowledges that existing standards often do not account for the unique features and requirements of modular and serial construction methods, creating a need for a coordinated German viewpoint that can also serve as a basis for the European market. By applying this standard, builders and designers can have a comprehensive and structured approach to modular construction, addressing topics such as planning, construction processes, and special building physics features commonly encountered in this method.
The standard emphasizes the benefits of modular construction, such as a high degree of prefabrication and the ability to continue production regardless of weather conditions. However, it also highlights the importance of considering module construction-specific factors. These factors are explained in the standard and include aspects such as construction times and quality assurance possibilities.
